I think it’s weird, that swearing is against the rules, especially in the EU-Forum. Insults should be against the rules, but not aimless swearing in my opinion. Swearing is way too common in europe especially to be against the rules. That seems more like a cultural disrespect to europeans to not allow aimless swearing.

Sadly enough, prudes do not care about nuance, only control.

You can’t attack other posters. Most insults if flagged are removed. Obviously not everything is an insult and sometimes it will come down to the Moderators judgement.
It’s why these forums have become a toxic place. We have to agree with a few certain posters and MVP’s otherwise “It’s against da rules! RePoRtEd! FlAgGeD!”
I have every single MVP on my ignore list simply because none of them exist for me. I don’t want to engage with them any longer.

If you want to be taken seriously then you might want to properly voice your concerns and points instead of spamming sentences where 70% of them are just emojis.

Now you are conflating “insults” with “swearing”. This is the european Forum. Swearing is normal culturally in Europe, direct insults are not. Not all rules are good. Moderators are not judges, they just apply terms of service, and sometimes the terms of service by Blizzard are stupid

saying the f word is constructive in which part of world ?
stupid or not .you agree when you post something on forum .just like you go in a foreign country you accept their terms and conditions irrespective of what your own culture or ethics is about it .
That is false. Nobody has to agree with me or any other MVP.
If there is nothing rule breaking in flagged post, it will not be removed.
who said the f word? it’s the title of the video lmao
I’m not doing anything. I’m explaining that personal attacks, insulting another poster can be actioned. But someone feeling insulted is not always a rule breaking situation.

you can easily edit it out .you chose to put it there .
No, I would tell your niece her drawing is a great start, and if she keeps practicing and aims to meet objective standards of quality, she will become a far better artist than most of the people working at Blizzard today. That is not an insult to her, it is encouragement to rise above mediocrity. Comparing a child’s early efforts to professional studios is ridiculous. Real creativity thrives when it is held to standards, not when people hide behind feelings to excuse poor work. If your niece learns that now, she will surpass the people still making excuses for low effort output.
That is a childish take. Games are entertainment, but they are also art, storytelling, and technical products built by professionals for public consumption. Saying “it wastes my time and I had fun” is the lowest possible bar for quality. By that logic, broken, unfinished, and poorly made games are considered good as long as someone somewhere is distracted by them. That is not how standards work. You can enjoy trash, but pretending that makes it objectively good is how industries decline, quality collapses, and lazy work gets rewarded. Worse, it leads to people growing resentful of the product and hating the industry because they know it could have been better, but excuses buried standards in favour of short term distraction.
Of course you are done, because backing out is easier than admitting you contradicted yourself. Whether you like it or not, implications are part of communication. You do not get to rewrite what you implied just because you do not like being called on it. Walking away does not change the facts, it just proves you cannot defend your position.
You are being incredibly neurotic and self centred, whether you realise it or not. You have built this entire conversation around your personal feelings, as if criticism of a product is some personal attack on you. That mindset is exactly why standards collapse. Society has conditioned people to tie their identity to what they consume, so when the product gets criticised, they feel personally attacked. It is fragile, entitled thinking, and it is why industries can push low effort work and still get applause. You can walk away from this, but the truth stays the same.

laughing emojis express perfectly all that is left to say about the writing of this game. people with better english knowledge than me have given their feedback multiple times. no reason to repeat the same thing. all i can do is to watch the trainwreck

yes, that’s why I don’t use any swear words in the Forums, but I think the rule is bad, and I can complain about a rule, especially if it’s regionally not appropriate. USA has a very different sentiment towards aimless swearing than Europe

i just posted the link. imagine focussing on that and ignoring the rest of the discussion lol
Like it literally always was.
Completely and utterly subjective
Also subjective. But what’s more: Who decides ‘what the Warcraft vibe’ is?
What if the devs have decided: This is the Warcraft vibe?
Like WoW’s storytelling has always been.
Sometimes, not always.
This is a minor issue though, honestly.
Once again completely subjective.
Eh… I think you mean a caricature of something else. And that kind of thing doesn’t fly anymore in today’s world.
Just like WoW used to feel when it was always ‘Horde zug zug’, ‘Alliance justice’.
My point: Just because you liked themes they used in the past more, doesn’t mean it didn’t have the same issues as it does now. Because it very much did.
Does not belong on a forum for 13 year olds + that simple , deal with it and move on.
“Apelord” sharing a asmongler video… yeah that checks out.
